4/10 Fair

This was the most disappointing hotel of our 10 night road trip. The outside smells like cow sh*t when you drive up. The people were nice, but our room was dirty and smelled like sulfur in the morning. Would not recommend.

If you like barn smell stay here
My room smelled like the inside of a barn. The bed wasn't comfortable at all. The shower head needs to be cleaned so the water sprays down instead of all over the place. Breakfast wasn't great. They were out of several items, like eggs 5 minutes after breakfast started. Overall wasn't impressed.

The hotel is located next to the family farm on the lake. Beautiful grounds and a beautiful, inviting lobby and restaurant. We ate at the onsite restaurant and the food was innovative and delicious. The breakfast buffet the next morning was very varied, plentiful and delicious. The rooms were comfortable but small which is not unusual for Iceland. The bathroom was small as well but manageable. They have free parking which is nice. They also provide wake-up calls for the northern lights and we were fortunate to receive one. Excellent property to take advantage.

A very pleasant 1 night stay at this charming hotel. The hotel offers breathtaking views of the lake and is just 1-2 minutes away by car from the main town. The hotel also has a hot tub and sauna. While the sauna is undergoing renovation, the hot tub is very relaxing, especially after a long day of driving and exploring. There is ample free parking available right in front of the hotel. The breakfast spread had a good number of options, even for vegetarians.

Great hotel with lots of flair and super clean
Such a cute hotel by a lake. Has a lot of flair with objects in the common areas to look at. The room I stayed in was under the roof and looked so cute and was on the larger side for a single bed. Their restaurant is nice, but - as with all such venues - expensive by north american standards. It also doesn't have the flair of the rest of the hotel, because it seems like hotel guests are herded together in an overflow room that is somewhat separate from the actual restaurant unfortunately. While dining there, every local was taken past us into the actual restaurant and it was just tourists in the room I was sat in. So skip the restaurant, go into town and find a place to eat maybe?) but the hotel is fantasic

Lakeside Serenity
I stayed here for one night in August with 3 friends. The location on the lake is absolutely picturesque, the spa was relaxing, dinner at the restaurant was delicious and their breakfast spread was the best of the 5 or so we experienced on our ring road trip.
